ducatiboy Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I have just seen this news, I’m delighted with this one. I remember being really disappointed after he left first time round, all of my mates thought this one was a lost opportunity at the time, his debut was brilliant, my memory of the Rangers game, was he was very mobile, had great feet, and the thing that really stuck out was his composure. Really chuffed he has signed, welcome back big man!, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spirt of 98 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Glad we are now signing proper Hearts class players. We have endured years of poor players. Sibbick will leave here for serious cash in a few years. Unless we **** up like we have with Soapy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armageddon Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 See when he was here the first time he was excellent as that sitting midfielder, returned to Barnsley and suddenly a centre back, he’s been quite pish for us at CB…. could he be that replacement for Beni if he’s out for a while?

Newton51 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Would play as a replacement for beni if Devlin still not fit by then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mscjambo Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Sibbick is still very raw. He was thrown in at a bad time when souttar and halkett were injured. Not a commanding cb but would probably do a good job beside say halkett in a 3 or as Barnsley used him at right back. We know he can play cm think the lad has just lost a bit of confidence after ibrox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazhearts Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 His confidence looks shot and he can't wait to get rid of the ball as soon as he touches it. He looks a bit like a fish out of water just now no matter where plays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a possibility that he wasn’t brought in to play centre back other than in an emergency. Unfortunately with Souttar and Halkett out he had to play there with little understanding of partners. I think he is here to replace Haring who looks like moving on in the summer. His cameo today showed as with the Rangers cup game that midfield is the place for him.

Robbie is doing the right thing by introducing him into the team gradually now and I am sure he will be a good player for us although maybe not at CB.

Robbie has already stated that he wants to sign two Centre Backs in the summer so I would imagine that will be to allow Kingsley to play at LWB and get forward more. So it is unlikely that Sibbick will be playing as a first choice CB more likely in midfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTT Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 I would be very comfortable seeing him play alongside Haring in CM/CDM if Beni is out for a while. The laddie has a lot of versatility. Could also sub in for Atkinson if Smith is out and we need to rest him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps he was bought in January to stand in at centre back just in case Soutter moved to Rangers with possibly a long term future as Haring's replacement should he not sign a new contract? All guesswork and I may be well off the mark, but regardless I think that he will prove to be a good signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely more likely to be a Haring alternative/long term replacement rather than a Souttar replacement for me. Think Robbie has also said we'll still be looking for at least one CB.

DesertDawg Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Looked O.K. as a replacement for Andy Halliday late on yesterday. The defensive midfield role seems to suit his game better. He'll improve with game time. Atkinson's defensive display yesterday was a good example of how that works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PapaShango Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 It's tough for players coming into a side that had been playing well, to then come in and replace injured players in a system and personnel they are not familiar with. He has struggled at centre back, notably at Ibrox where the entire back line was a shambles to be honest. However give him time, he has the raw tools to be a decent player for us. As others have said, defensive midfield role might suit him better at the moment. Hopefully we get Souttar and Devlin back for the semi final, both massive players for us.

boag1874 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Sibbick will be a great player for us once he's actually had time to settle & learn the system, chucked in to a makeshift defense the way he was isn't a great indicator of how his Hearts career will go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
